Month: September 2016

I remember in middle school hearing the line You can plan a pretty picnic but you can’t predict the weather…

The line is so simple and explains the unexplainable in life, the situations we get in, wither it be with friendships, jobs, and even family, things don’t always go perfect. Funny how I can imagine an ideal for how things should be, yet when it comes to the time, there is still an element I have no control over. And the more I don’t acknowledge this outside energy, the more it overpowers my movements. Plans change and it’s probably for the best, if your mind is clear.

Did someone order a large carne asada burro, because damn there is a lot of beef around now, I guess there always was, but this is nothing I’ve ever seen before. I never thought Lil Wayne would leave Cash Money, that’s a possibility brewing because Wayne has been frustrated with his business partner/father/mentor for a while now, and it’s gotten to the point where Wayne is holding his Masterpiece hostage (Tha Cater V) until Birdman pays him his cash owed. I think their were points in time when they were handling the business part, yet lately Wayne has been really serious about the departure from that relationship. He’s done with being the son.

The Game and Meek Mill are suddenly beefing, and of course the internet is everyone’s platform for opinions, people be saying that it’s only a publicity stunt. How convenient that both rappers have new projects to promote when the beef gets cooking. Apparently it has something to do with Game being questioned by the cops involving an incident with pop star Sean Kingston and his stolen jewelry. Meek was questioned as well and Games claims that Mills was being some kind of a snitch. Meek Mills has been a target all year, his beef was reportedly squashed with Drake, but the Game situation, seems just like free promotion because this happened a few months ago, the chain robbing and police getting involved. Game waited on it, they do say gangsters move in silence.

I think we even have beef within ourselves and beef towards ideals of society. The way things are, compared to how they were, depending on your time spent on earth. Frank Ocean released his new album called Blonde and it has a guest verses from Andre 3000 from Outkast. The song is called a reprise, and it was a verse that he had written some time ago, but the content is so key to what hip-hop is becoming in this moment. Rappers not writing their own rhymes and getting recognition for being popular with little effort. Females having surgery and getting enhancements done to their body only to feel like they deserve an equal quality in a partner. Rappers having issues with other rappers because it will only be free publicity to their craft.

Will Wayne leave Cash Money? Will Meek and Game squash their beef? Will any one survive the consequences of their actions and be able to speak on it?
